A good friend sent me a link to this site. I highly recommend taking a look. What it boils down to is a bunch of highly excited nerds talking about all the interesting things each of them has been delving into...
This stuff gets me amped
www.ted.com
There is a whole bunch of reasons why I really dug this following talk.
How it relates to climbing
Its relation to my arm situation
Its nerd value!
The masquerading coconut is most interesting!
Love it!

Beginning of the New Era
I've been watching climbing Vids on the internet all morning, going against my rule of never looking at climbing websites, mags or talking about it. Its a sanity thing for me. I fell off the wagon this morning needless to say. Usually it brings me down, start thinking about how I've been disconnected from the whole thing the last while.
Today was different, it got me amped. It may just be extra dose of prescription meds kicking in...
I've also been thinking about my last post the over the last 24 hours.
12 years of climbing all over the world, man it was good.
Bottom line, things change.
It's universal.
Time to get on with it.
Time to find passion in something else, leave the Demon behind again.
This may be it.

Its not barrel rolling icebergs in Newfoundland or tip toeing around Warheads in the Middle East but it's got it's moments.
There's something that gets your heart going when your in a 44th floor of a high rise in downtown Calgary making deals.
So, if you're in the Can. Drop me a line. I've been beefing up my "Nerd" centre...
Example below (This is similar what I've put together)
The Nerds will prevail!

End of an Era
I'm out in Squamish at the moment wrangling some relaxation time. I can't seem to get away from the dreaded demon that pursues me though. And as the days increase into the summer the Demon increases in strength.
He runs me down and devours me.
Just to have myself re-awake and it happen again and again.
For many years there was just about nothing else in my life than scaling rock, ice and snow. It didn't matter where or when, with who or with who not. I was possessed and pursued by the demon up anything inclined.
The great thing about scaling is that the Demon lessons in strength and potency, the higher, the harder, the more time and distance traveled. And, for a brief time the Demon is abated and a free moment of solace is reached.
Where is my solace from the Demon now?
